Thanks to their nutrient content, almonds are considered to be “kings” among all nuts. They contain proteins that are quickly absorbed, a small amount of carbohydrates, and health promoting fats. There is a high amount of vitamins B1, B6, and vitamin E, and minerals as well - calcium magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, and selenium. The combination of these minerals has positive effects on skin, hair, and nails. Plus, the calcium content in almonds is much higher than in milk and dairy products. Regular almond consumption strengthens nerves, makes your muscles firmer, helps to fight stress and fatigue, strengthens tooth enamel, and helps to prevent colon cancer.
